The author assumes that the question can be answered by applying principles of anatomy, physics and evolutionary biology. First reason he suggests is that cats are small and they have a favourable mass-surface area ratio. Next, he suggests that cats have soft tissues that absorb the shock and they land on all four limbs, dividing the shock. This is because of their body shape and its centre of gravity. He says that felines have this kind of body structure (that canines lack) because years of falling from trees etc. has evolved their body in this way.

What do you think will happen to the ph and pco2 levels with hyperventilation?
umka2103 [35]

It will increase blood pH. This is because pCO2 also reduces. pCO2 is critical in the <span>maintenance of blood pH. Dissolved CO2 from respiring tissues dissolves in blood to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid partially dissociated into H+ ions and its conjugate base (bicarbonate ions). Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the formation of carbonic acid (in tissues) and vice versa (in the lungs). In the lungs, the carbon dioxide is expelled.  </span>

The plasma membrane represents an energetic barrier to the free diffusion of ions from the extracellular space into the cytoplas
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Why are molecules such as valinomycin effective at transporting ions across the membrane?

Valinomycin is effective as transporting ions across the membrane because it is no charged, so it can carry ions.

Why would a drop in temperature to or below the transition temperature limit valinomycin mediated K+ transport across the plasma membrane?

Valinomycin is limited by temperature because its activity is highly sensitive and it depends on a stable and an average temperature.

Explanation:

Valinomycin is effective at transporting ion across the membrane because is an antibiotic that alternates hydroxy and amino acid, ans it helps membranes to be permeable. Valinomycin is a cyclic molecule that helps in ions transportation through membranes. Also, antibiotics have a temperature range of activity, that's why it is sensitive to changes.
